NpiraT OP TFTE PITSTAC JOURNAT.A. The taxes of Engl#►nd nw.,t undergo a "large, bold, and speedy reduction :" uve hate this more than onee upon cool deliberation—and now deliberately and decidedly we repeat, that otherwise the manufactures of the kingdom will experience a prompt and general Foci pitatim towards that ruin which already has partially overtaken them. We have said that our manufac- turers throughout the north of England have in many instances c. shut up shop," from being unable to ma nufacture goods at such a price as was to be had for them in the - foreigninarkets. Look at the myriads of dismissed and starving journeymen, and answer what, has become of the . establishmenta in which these men formerly worked. We have declared our firm per suasion that the decline of British manufacture *as not owing to a temporary glut in the f o reign markets, but to the successful eompetitior, br foreigners in their effiorts to supply those markets;----this assertion we firmly adhere to, repeating it emphatically, and challenging the strictest investigation of Its truth. If the markets were generally glutted ) there would be a suspension iii the manufacture-of goods elsewhere, as well as in Enfland. the '‘e ,were no market for cotton cloths in -;.urope, A 914 or America, there would be no de mand for the raw material, or - for the material in its earlier atageg:ol-: preparation, abroad, any more than in this emintry„ Foreign merchants would not purchase raw cotte„,-if'foreign manufacturers had no consump tion 4 :or the: cloth. Now what are the facts of this fro- Ir.irtant veition ? On consulting the documents pre-' tented to Parliament from the office of the Inspector- General of the Customs, we find; as it is stated in our city article, that there has been of late an enormous increase in the exportation of raw cottons from this country. In the year ending January 5,1824, the export was 0,318,4031b5. ; in 1825, 13,299,5051b5. ; 1826, 18,004,9531b5.---doubled in the. coursui,of three years. Was this the consequence of a ; sudden shock of a - cliprice of 'fortune, or a transitory revulsion in the cotton trade? We say it was not, but that the cause permanent in our domestic state, the consequence has been regular and growing. Again, did the foreigni rivalship terminate; with the returns whence we have drawn these unanswerable records of a.declining ma-, nufacture ? We say it did not. For the preaent year, 1826, the Custom-house furnishes no official docu ments later than the sth of April ; but by those of the preceding quarter we learn, that from the sth of January, 1826, to the sth of April, the export was 6,701,7651b5., whereas the quantity exported in the !corresponding quarter pi last year was only 505,7361b5. This quarterly comparison 'at the same time we do not stand 'upon, because accident may hive done some thing, and the momentary crisis in the cotton-market more, to retain the commodity in the hands which then possessed it ; but, upon the comparison of, the, first quaeter of 1826 with an equal period of any former year, we have a right to calculate, as likewise On the prospeet which' it presented for ie remainder of this year. There is a further ground' for reliance on the. aboyez-mentioned quarter, as indicating some what for the rest.of the year, in the :intelligence de rived from :individual sources,: relative to the .exports which have since last April been recorded. From the accrnints of brokers having access to the fountain-bead of information,, it appears that the total amount of cot , ton wool'exported from the sth Of January, 1826, to the middle of the present month of September, hail been 79;107 !bags; which estimating the bag to con- tain 3001bs. make 23 ,750,1001b5. ofcotton. - This rate of - export continued down to the sth of -January, IRV, (and, it goes on without thy least symptom of diininution), would. carry the export of' raw cotton for the present year to 33,512,2581b5., or, in round num bers, for the four last years- - 18E3 1824 13A00,0001bs. 1820 13,000,00011i5. After this, can it be said that we hate the magnitude or speed of foreign rivalship beyond what the truth in disputably warrants? Why, in the name of IleaVen, should raw cotton be sent abroad, if it were not to he there manufactured ? and if to be manufactured on this progressive scale, must not the consumption of the foreign article be progressive also ? Ilut it s e ems we are to derive consolation for the export of raw cotton from that of cotton twist'! If - . England were a new country, which had just begun .to " try her 'prentice band.' at manufacture, it might be a plausible hoist for her flatterers, that she was making a, good commencement, and selling , that particular branch of goods which bespoke an inflint industry, viz; the cotton twist-.-being' one degree removed from the Condition of a raw material : this, for 4 young trade, was beginning at the right end : it was an ;in , provementupon no export of manufacture at all ; but . can any thing short of the grossest ignorance or disho nesty adduce the inc teased export of cotton twist as an indemnification for the comparatively 'decreased ex port.of cotton cloth ? Is twist,'Which may stand as 55. to is., - I.b. for lb., hi proportion to the raw material, an equivalent for cloth which:may be wrought up tolo6s. for "Is ?. We said that England, when she was con ' ceived to be. most prosperous, had a' monopoly of the foreign market for manufacturing cottons ; and all the world knows it to be true. Our argument, a few days since, went On to state that she could' riot hope to pre serve that monopoly ; and is it not true that she has already lost-it ? - Was ever demonitration more power fill than the facts which We have quoted ? Even yes terday at the India House, says the London Price Currod, "a third part" of the whole amount Of 'cot= ton sold, "is estimated to he taken by the exporters —a small part by the trade—the remainder by speeu lator3! Are they riot satisfied yet---the bolsterers up of :iickly colifidence and overweening and childish self love ? Our remarks upon the wages of the English journeymen have, we understand, been distorted into an assertimi that 4 , the English jdurneymen's wages are too high." It ia aimiligliant falsehood that we ever uttered an opinion which, thus unqualified, would have been equally absurd and ifilitiman. 'the sense of our observation" ways P r "i"lr this t- The wages Paid to journeymen in England are tot l o w -h i One - respect , a n t too high in another, aithrnigl i they are_ scarcely adequate to support the poor .workman's lire-- yare so hi g h as to dkable the manufacturerl from 'H* l 7 inaintaiiling a c ompetition with hie foreign rival. This is the real condition of this country. The work:: man emigrates, because he cannot home ; an d the - manufacture itself goes with him, -b ecaust , the same wages which starve the w eaver, are m ore th an j inn for his toil. If then hia:master con afrord to p a y we have declared that taxes inthst he dinnmshed, have inan answer the we not nude out our Case r Can T he country has case which we have established / become.:too "dear to inanufaettire in .

Ihe grand of money froM the uses of private ease and comfort, is the Governinent ; and of the sum of wealth so.alien ated one-third may be Set' dawn as extravagance and . abuse., We are told that an i.mmense amount of taxes has been surrendered. Tt is true : but of taxes which it had become physically impossible for the nation any longer -to bear and: from a sum-total; of which, what remains is, according to the present value of money, fully equal to the whole mass of our taxation, when it stood, .nominally, one.third higher. Let,- then, the new Parliament follow the steps of that blessed Par liament which forced the abolition of the inconie-tax. Ministers all swore that its repeal was impossible— that the country would be ruined without the palla ilium of the, income-tax ---that no public establishment could be reduced by a single button ; and that if the wicked attempt should be persisted in, why, God-a mercy, they would all ." go out of office !" But the Rouse of Commons were more obstinate than his Majesty's advisers. They actually abolished the tax, and what followed ? Why, positively, that the coun try breathed with more freedom than before, and that many buttons, with much embroidery, were con fiscated ; while the negative consequence was, that the Ministers did not resign, and are even suspected to be most of them still in office.. Then we repeat, let Par liament follow the good precedent—let them find re peal, and Government will find reduction ; the inarm= factures, commerce, .and agriculture of England, may yet - recover their prosperity, and the working people, whether journeyman or peasant, cease to be among the wretched of the human race.— Times. From the manner in which the Military are some times allowed to conduct themselves towards peaceable citizens, one cannot help drawing the conclusion that one great object of their superior officers is to render the soldiers and the -people the most bitter enemies. Instances like -that which occurred at Buekingham gate lately are not at all tinfrequent, yet we never hear of any measures being taken to repress such conduct. Files of soldiers, too, may be seen almost any day, passing along the footpath; and particularly where it is narrow, forcing foot pasSengers, women as well as men, to descend into the carriage-way, and run the risk of being trodden under fot ; and according to accounts from Manchester, the regular troops sent out to that town have been almost th e s o l e di s t ur b ers o f th e pub lic tranquillity. Manchester now exhibits the singu lar phenomenon of police officers being placed on the Parade to watch . the Military and keep them in order. This system of exciting hostility between the civil mad military classes may do very well for despotic :Govern ments ; Itiissia has long adopted it. The military there are taught to look upon themselves as a privi leged Class, and to treat with eontempt, and often in dignity, those who have not learned the use of arms. During the despotie reign of Buonaparte, the French soldiers imbibed the same sentiments. Pekin was the only appellation which they deigned to apply to a peaceable citizen, and the aim of superiority assumed by the men as well as officers, and encouraged by their superiors, evinced the predpminance of the Military, and the degraded condition of all other classes . . 1 , We: sincerely trust that such will never be the,case inEng land. We 'owe' much of our liberty to the subjec 7 tiou of the Military to .the Civil poWer. German caps and coats, and every variety of continental forms ' ' may be introduced into the Army without in';. jury ; but if with these are introduced also the habits iand discipline of the troops of despotism, we should 'soon have the great body of the people arrayed against the soldiers, and ready, on every occiciion in Which they came in contact, to excite the most :;eriiiiis disturbances. The real friends of their country, and those 'particularly who have the power, ought to seize every opportunity of discouraging such a spirit in the Army. The liberty of any country cannot be long secure, if the troops arc intimated by sentiments boa tile to those of the community.—Morning Herald. THE BETHNAL-GREEN RIOTS. APPOINTMENT OF THE HORSE PATROL. Yesterday morning the orders of the Secretary of State, to the Magistrates of Worship-street Police Office, to establish a party of horse patrol, to be under the jurisdic tion of their Worships. was carried into effect, and a party of strong able-bodied men, who bave held sitwitions in :the army, were appointed, and at twelve o'clock they mounted, and went on duty, accoutred with cutlasses, piStobt ' awl blunderbusses. These men were to remain in 'active duty till five o'clock in the morning, and will be in constant tiommunication with forty of the dismounted patrol, who were also sent upon duty by order of the Right Honourable Secretary. The dismounted are divided into parties, and are stationed at the follbwing posts, viz.: Cambridge Heath Gate, Mile-end Gate, Whitechapel Church, London Apprentice Gate, and near the Regent's Canal, in the Mile-end-road. This body of men will also remain on duty till five o'clock in the morning, when tbey will go off, and com municate with the Magistrates of Worship-street. Yesterday being market day at Smithfield, the gang were on the look out fur beasts, and we hear, that as early itN six yesterday morning, two bullocks were taken from a drove, and are now in the hands of the gang. However, we have no doubt but that the officers will prevent them from pursuing their outrages. On Wednesday a bullock was rescued from them in. the Kingsland-road, and after being secured in Clement's barn till the gang had dispersed, it was conveyed home to its owner, Mr. Alexander, ,in Whiteehapel Market. It having been reported, that Mr. Sykes, the proprie tor of the ham and beef shop, in Winchester -street, Hare street-fields, had died yesterday morning, in the London Hospital, of the dreadful injuries he received from the gang, we went there, and are happy to say he is still alive. It seems that Mr. Sykes had only set up in business a few days, when about eight o'clock in the evening, about twenty fellows cage round his shop, armed with sticks; ' he suspected they intended an attack, and for security got behind the counter, when the whole, gang came in, and seizing a buttock of beef and a ham, ran out of the shop. He endeavoured to prevent them, by putting out his arm, when one of them took up a hatchet or hammer, and with a tremendous blow struck him over the arm, which broke it in a dreadful manner it has been since amputated, and he now lies in a very bad state. The gang then went into a baker's shop, and helped themselves to bread, and after waxds adjourned to the brick.field, and ate the provisions in a very short time. It would be too tedious to state the numerous outrage* that have been committed by this gang, bat there is reason now to bope, that the establishment of the horse patrol, and the conviction, on Thursday, of three of them at the Old Bailey, for attacking ; and robbing Mr. Fuller, will be the means of routing them altogether from the parhih.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.-- Thomas 4olliagshead was placed the bar on suspicion of stealing a parcel, containing a considerable sum of money in Rink-note:4, from the Southampton roach. Mr. James Hentysworn—Was a hanker at Worthing, in com pany with his brother and James 'Hopkins. On the , 16th of August last he made Up a parcel containing sundry country bank notes, to the amount of 1,000/. and vpwards, scaled up the parcel, directing it to Hall and Co., Brighton, and gave it to his brother. Mr. Charles 'S. Henry, brother to the last witness—l received the parcel from the bands of any brother—locked it up in the iron box, under the coach-box of the Southampton coach, locked also the iron drawer, and brought the keys back to our own office. John H. Burrough is a partner in the banking-house of Hall and Co., at Brighton. Had duplicate keys of the iron box and drawers of the Southampton coach. On the 16th of August last went to the coach-office, in expectation of receiving a parcel from Worthing. Found the box and drawer both locked, but found no parcel. Sir R. Emmy—And no appearance of the lock being open ? Witness-None, whatever. I examined the iron-box the next morning, and found a small screw loose, but could not find any other injury. , Thomas Bolster lived at Southampton, and was the driver of the Southampton coach from Brighton, to that place. On the 16th of August last, I left Southampton at eight o'clock in the morning; with four inside and nine outside passengers, took up another passenger, a respectable man, near Chichester, who rode to Brighton ; five or six passengers were also booked for that place. After leaving Worthing, I stopped at a public-house called the Pads, about a mile and a quarter from Shoreham. The man who eat with me on the box said, " Stop, coachman, I think our friend hai sent some conveyance for us here," meaning himself and another than, who was also an outside passenger ; A man with a hairy cap, and a sort of brown jacket, came over towards the coach at the same time, and the man on the box and his friend behind him both got down. They were both booked to Shore ham. They had !wait them a portmanteau, 'and a bundle, or a travelling bag. I reqtiested one of the passengers behind me' to hold th e r e in. whdo, gat down. I was delayed at the public house for about four or five minutes in giving the two passengers their luggage and change. I saw nothing more of the two men, who then left us, and had no knowledge whatever of their persons. The witness was here directed to look round theoffice, for the pur pose of identifying any person who bore a resemblance to either of the men in question, and the prisoner was directed to put on his hat, but the coachman declared again that he had no recollection what ever of the two men. Mr. Butler, clerk to Mr. Harmer, . who appeared for the pro secution, said that he did not mean to go further with the case at present. Sir RICHARD BIRMI: directed that the prisoner should he re manded to Wednesday next, and in the mean while that orders should be given to the gaoler of the new prison to make his situ*. lion as comfortable as possible. MARYLEBONE-OFRICE. —Yesterday, Martin Nichols was brought before Mr. BaouomoN, for a final examination, on the charge of having committed a rape upon ' the body of Bridget Foy, a. girl 13 years of age, his step-daughter, being the child of his wife by r e former husband. Mr, Rogers, a master builder, who kept the house in Hermitage street, ' and who lets no other part but the floor occupied by the family of Nicholls, Said, he thought it was impossible such a cir cumstance could have occurred without his knowledge, as he and . his wife were at home occupying the first floor as a sitting room and bed-room. The testimony of Mrs. Rogers was the same, and she said she observed no difference in the appearance or conduct of the girl, for she ran up and down stairs the next morning as usual, which if the statement was true, She considered :to be im posaible. The girl's story was told and repeated to circumstantially, connectedly, and with so much apparent ' simplicity, that hlt. Broughton expressed himself astonished at--the • conflicting nature of the evidence, and in order to obtain the testithony of the mother, who was gone into the cooutry,• the prisoner was remanded until yesterday: ... Mrs. Nicholls lived nine months as wet-aurae in the family of the Rev., Mr, Boswell, at Is-er, and is just returned, at Mrs. Boa. well's request, into her service. again, as dry-nurse. She stated, that her hnsband had always been steady and kind, not at all ad, dieted to Women ; when she was absent, out of small earnings he has sent her considerable sums ; she. did not caution Bridget not to admit of familiarities; she never thought he would 'offer them, and he never threatened 'to make her &login:yrs prostitutes,, but frequently said their conduct was likely to bring them to that con dition.. At, first she belieyed 13ridget's story, and would not bear what her luisbanA had to say in his defence, and it so disgusted. her, that she has not filsid .sv ith , liiiii • sines. Now she is convinced - from trtat the surgeon laid, that the charge is unfounded. The, two girls, Jane and Mary, were sent to Ireland by her desire, be cause her sister' there will maintain them : the determination was made before the alleged .crime was said to be committed, and Brid get was to have gone with them. She had been a great trouble to her, she had repeatedly fobbed hey employers, and was a no torious story-teller. This was confirmed by Mr. Taylor, of Southinolton-street. • •' Mr.. Kelly, of Paddingbin, gave'the prisoner an excellent cha racter; he had worked for him between six and seven years, and had been a watetnan for four years' in St. Pancras parish, with an unimpeached character.' ' ' Gibbs, the officer, who apprehended him, stated that he came very willingly to meet the charge, and Mr. Wiffin, a pariah officer of Marylebone, said, Nicholls applied some time since for a pass to Ireland for the three girls, compleining.particularly of Bridget, who, he said, stayed out at night, and associated with a parcel of boys. „ . Mr. Baouclittoti---I never knew a case involved in so much mystery : the girl in Public, and with me in private, with tears in her eyes, as she is now, has told a clear and connected story; if it be not true, there never was greater wickedness ; those are works of darkness, and therefore an eye-witness is not to be expected; but as you (addressing the prisoner) possess so good a character, and I do not Consider the evidence strong enough for 'a Jury, I shall leave the case between you and your Maker, and discharge you. QUERN-SQUARR.—Yesterday a foreign lady, of prepossessing appearance and insinuating manners, who gave her mane Sophia Madeline Cammara, residing at No. 2, Theitre-plaee, Stangate street, Westminster, was brought up in Custody under the follow —lt appeared from the' statement of Mr. Ilenrietta-street, Covent-garden, that i T n h g oni ei ss re mv sta id i g izi o : f the prisoner. came to board and lodge with him about twelve weeks ago, representing herself as a .German lady of high birth and con nexions, and that Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg was her •guar dian; she also stated that Mr. Rothschild bad money belonging to her in his hands to a considerable amount : she had also an ae coent at Meisrs. Contts, the bankers, to whom she had lately ad vanced 20,000/. its a loan ; as yonder' for her respectability, she showed witness an inunense bundle of papers and other documents, duly signed-muts e al t d.by foreigners of distinction, relatiVe to her possessions in Germany, which she described as being of great value; among the letters were some from the Duke of Port land, Duchess of Kent, and several of the nobility. From the artless and plausible manner of .the prigonesif witness con ceived her story to he correct`, and the respectable names she mentioned, did not leave a doubt on his: mind but that she Was a lady of theft distinction, and had trusted her for hoard and lodging to the amount of 14/.

Upon one occa sion he acemnpeniedlier to the coonting-house of.Mr, Rothschild to receive a suin of money, and waited for her outside, when she returned with a bundle of papers tinder her arm, saying they were Bank notes. Another thnelie went with her to the Bank to receive ntoney, where she pretended to keep an account; anti afterwards went with her to Took Ihr the Mansfield coach, where she wait, she had a large estate. A few days ago he asked her to settle his account, whet, she appeared extremely indignant at hi's impertinence to ask a Lay of her connections for such a paltry sum, and immediately quitted his lodgings, leaving her papers de posited in his hatalses security for the debt, when, upon taking thew to Mr. Rothsehild.e, he discovered that the .documents of the Gemini estates were all forgeries; and the clerk further told him that and she would at ti mes sham madness.

At present Ido not think there is sufficient grounds to de tain you on a charge of robbery. Several persons were in attendance who had been victims of her duplicity, many of whom exprmed their determination to prose cute her for swindling. THAMES-POLICE.—John Pritchard, a waterman, !ap peared on a summons, to show cause why he extorted an exorbi tant fare. • Mr. Claude Nelson, a respectable gentleman, residing in Arbour place, Commercial-road, stated, that he and his family bad lately come from Scotland by the United Kingdom steam-packet, and on her arrival at Greenwichhehailed two boats, one fur his flintily, and the other for luggage, to take him as fur as Ratcliff-cross ; when,' on their arrival there, they charged him 12s. each boat, though he understood aftenvards that the fare, was only 3s. Out of a sense of public duty, he brought the defendant there. The name of the other boatman he could not learn. Mr. BRODZAIP asked the defendant what he had to say ? The defendant replied, " I did not ask the fare, it was the other young man who did ; when the gentleman said, ' I sup Pose I am to give you the same,' and I said, if you please, and he glive it to me." Mr. BRODY:RIP observed, that watermen latterly have been. in the habit of imposing on strangers coming out of steam-vesseli--- that it was necessary to make au example. Ile therefore should convict the defendant in a penalty of 40s. and costs. The gentleman requestal that his portion of the fine mightbe put in the poorbox.

Last week was the period of .plucking for the fifth time in the neighbourhood of Westmoor, near Langport, and the geese were immediately afterwards turned out oh the common. The rain descended that night in tor rents,, and the air was chilly in consequence of which the flocks having been divested of their natural pro 7 tectiOn from the weather, suffered so severely, that op Westmoor alone from 1,600 to 2,000 geese were in the morning found dead, and a very considerable num' 7 ber besides are now so languid that their recovery is doubtful.
